Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Ning Qingxuan came to the secret research institute on the outskirts of Chang'an as usual to inspect the progress of research on elemental power and channels to other worlds.
During this month, Zhu Youxin led the team to advance these two projects at the same time.
In the research on elemental power, with the occasional conjectures proposed by Ning Qingxuan - in fact, they were information he gave based on his memories of his previous life - Zhu Youxin's research progress was extremely rapid.
He has confirmed the possibility that high-level energy can be disassembled and differentiated into several types of lower-level energy through certain technical means, and agrees with Ning Qingxuan's speculation that "elemental power is transformed from some higher-level ability."
However, the pure seven elemental powers of Teyvat do not exist in this world, so further research is difficult to carry out.
But on the other hand, Zhu Youxin discovered that they could indeed transform the holy light power from the angel feathers to a certain extent through a series of means.
After a complicated analysis of the nature of holy light, he also gave a conclusion as thick as a dictionary.
"Holy light is a kind of energy with a strong assimilation ability, especially for electromagnetic waves including light. Anything that is touched by the holy light will be assimilated without exception."
"But what's interesting is that the holy light itself seems to have a kind of inertia.
It won't dissipate or decay, as if its time is permanently fixed at a certain moment.
Unless we actively and forcibly stimulate the angel feather, I doubt that it will change even if we leave it there for hundreds or thousands of years."
"Also, although the structure of angel feathers looks no different from that of ordinary bird feathers, in fact, they are not made up of cells, calcium skeletons, and cilia, but are a kind of unprecedented 'condensed energy'.
Yes, although it is extremely incredible, this is a solid, touchable energy body, a pure energy body."
Standing next to Zhu Youxin, Ning Qingxuan put one hand behind her back and looked down at Gabriel's feather covered in a sealed glass cover on the cylindrical metal platform in front of her.
"Is it possible for us to transform this kind of energy ourselves through technological means?"
"Unfortunately, Your Highness, this is simply not possible with current technology. We don't even know how it can make the energy appear in a condensed state."
Zhu Youxin shook his head in confusion, indicating that he was powerless.
"But Your Highness, after burning more than a dozen high-wave oscillation cyclotron accelerators, we did achieve some results - the holy light from the angel lady's feathers was disassembled by us into 17 kinds of weakened energy with different properties! The properties of these weakened energies are somewhat similar to the properties of the lightning elemental force provided by Miss Yae.
This allows us to confirm the conclusion that elemental force is a high-level force similar to holy light that is disassembled and differentiated."
"Seventeen?"
Ning Qingxuan seemed to be thinking about something.
He vaguely remembered that when the game Genshin Impact was loading, there was a sentence on the seven element loading progress bar at the bottom of the screen: light can be divided into countless colors through scattering, but people are too lazy to subdivide it, so it is roughly divided into seven types.
It should be the same for elemental force.
"Can these weakened energies be utilized?"
"Um... Your Highness, we have not yet found a carrier that can store this special energy, so we cannot verify its usability."
Carrier?
Ning Qingxuan thought of the Eye of God almost immediately. This energy that was close to elemental force and obtained by disassembling holy light, perhaps it could be stored in something like the Eye of God?
But to do this, in addition to borrowing the Eye of God from the Eightfold God, it would be better to find a way to break through the technology and create an artificial Eye of God.
Wait, a man-made eye of God? Isn't this the evil eye?
Ning Qingxuan's expression became strange: So, the Empire got the Fatui script?
"That's enough of our discussion on Holy Light. How's the situation with the Gate to the Other World? I heard that you have improved the original design and the Type B test machine you created is more stable. In theory, it can carry high-energy materials such as feathers carrying Holy Light?"
"All this is just paper data. No actual test has been conducted yet, Your Highness."
"Are you waiting for me?"
Zhu Youxin showed a bit of complacency on his face. Ning Qingxuan glanced at him and turned away.
"lead the way."
When heading to another venue, Ning Qingxuan suddenly received a report from the Long Yanjun guarding outside. After listening to it, he just casually said: "Let her go. From now on, Miss Ying will have the same authority as me."
After a moment, Ning Qingxuan saw two graceful figures.
One purple and one pink, they are the general and the Eightfold Son of God.
Both of them were dressed like Chang'an girls, with colorful clothes, golden hairpins, and twirling necklaces, which was just the right amount of bright and beautiful.
As soon as they met, Yae Shinko complained: "Little guy, you don't care about the people in charge of you. They are too partial. They see the general as if they see you, but I am just doing my job - why, is this palace officer so unlikable?"
"It would be fine if you didn't drag the general around Chang'an all day and cause a lot of trouble.
You took the general to visit brothels in Pingkangfang, and you specifically chose those hidden and private places.
Son of God, do you know how serious the consequences will be if this matter is investigated thoroughly?"
The empire had naturally long ago issued an order prohibiting any brothel from engaging in prostitution, but some things will not disappear just because you officially ban them.
Ning Qingxuan finally understood why the Eightfold Son of God was such a headache.
Ever since he regained his human form, this guy's mobility had become astonishingly high.
He dragged the general around Chang'an City all day long, and even ran to other surrounding towns, as if he could never see enough.
"I finally came to the new world and can move freely. Naturally, I have to take a good look around. Little guy, do you want to confine me?"
The two of them were bickering as usual, and this situation has happened countless times in recent days.
Ning Qingxuan also knew that the Eightfold Son of God was actually just using this method to gain a deeper understanding of the empire.
She obviously wanted to do her best to see, learn and understand more before returning, so that Inazuma could also benefit from it after she returns.
This behavior reminded Ning Qingxuan of the Tang envoys a thousand years ago.
After a while, the group walked out of the research institute inside the mountain and came to an open space between the valleys of two mountains.
At this time, a huge, door-like device has been erected in the open space.
It is seven or eight meters high and about ten meters wide. Just looking at it from a distance gives people a sense of tremendous pressure.
"What's this?"
Yae Miko is curious and curious.
"Door." Ning Qingxuan laughed, "A door that leads to another world."
